Chasecation 2016 Archives - ustornadoes.com

A tale of the day which featured a dozen twisters from one storm, all atop some of the best terrain…

It's always hard to say goodbye.

It's one tough state to crack as a chaser.

Only a handful of tornadoes reach EF4 status or greater per year. Fewer last for 90 minutes.

When it comes to seeking tornadoes, it doesn't take much to mess up a setup.

It was our 8th day in a row of chasing. Not an amazing one, but we managed.

You can't make chasing all about tornadoes if you want to have a good time.

This is one of the reasons a chasecationer tends to like the smaller threat days best.

Extreme instability and a boundary combined to create a monster tornado that churned for well over an hour.

There's no place like "home."

...Including the "busts."

If you storm chase, you're going to have days that don't work out as you hope they will.
